Finished for the day - empty car returning to Depot. I wonder if I could get a job driving those??

A general, wet, view of the Depot and the fan.

The way that the weather was setting in, that day, I reckon that the Boat-tram could almost have lived up to its name. It really started to chuck it down.

I am sure that the Foreman was quite happy to use me as an excuse to shift all the cars around so that I could get some pictures. I sure appreciated it, but, boy, I was starting to get wet. Anyway, I hope that, just perchance, he may see these and it will assure him that I appreciated his actions. Thanks, Mate. Sorry, I never did get your name.

Definitely NOT a vehicle for El Touristo. That looks like an interesting tram in front of the motor-car, too.

As with most Depots of this type, clearances are close - but for vehicles on rails, they can be tight. Note: a couple of the rubber-tyred brigade in the background.

Another view of the Open Saloon, or "Toastrack" vehicle.

Another one of the trams. This one definitely a Tourist-oriented, fine-weather car.

Some more vehicles "on-shed". The leading one appears to be a Ways and Works vehicle, with a wagon with a drum of overhead cable on it behind it. Behind that is one of the famous "Boat" trams.
